Comprehensive Buying Guide for Stainless Steel & Black Dial - Rolex GMT-Master II Watches

Key Features:

The current GMT-Master II collection showcases a 40mm case size, available in stainless steel and other premium materials like Everose Rolesor, 18k Everose Gold, and 18k White Gold. They come with features like time display with running seconds, date display, and GMT functionality. The dials are predominantly black with luminous hour markers, and the models include a bi-directional, bi-color Cerachrom bezel with a 24-hour scale. The movement is the advanced Rolex Caliber 3285, and the water resistance stands at 100 meters (330 feet). The strap options include the Oyster Bracelet for gold and two-tone models and the Jubilee Bracelet for stainless steel models.

GMT Design and Technology:

Rolex GMT-Master II watches have undergone significant design and technological advancements. The transition to the modern 6-digit series introduced a redesigned case with a more resistant Triplock winding crown, broader lugs, and larger crown guards, earning it the nickname "Super Case." The series also marked the shift from aluminum to Cerachrom bezels, a robust ceramic material resistant to scratches and UV light fading. The Maxi dial, with larger hour markers and hands, and the Chromalight luminous material, were other notable updates.

Notable GMT Variations:

The "Batman" (ref. 116710BLNR) and "Pepsi" (ref. 116719BLRO) models stand out for their bi-color Cerachrom bezels. The Batman model, introduced in 2013, was the first to feature a black and blue ceramic bezel. The Pepsi model, known for its blue and red bezel, debuted in white gold in 2014 and in stainless steel in 2018. These models exemplify Rolex’s mastery in creating two-tone ceramic bezels.

Bracelets Options and Caliber 3285 Movement:

The newer models like the Oystersteel Batman (ref. 126710BLNR) feature the Caliber 3285 movement with a Chronergy escapement, offering efficient operation and a 70-hour power reserve. They also come with a refined profile on the wrist, featuring thinner and less squared-off lugs for a more rounded appearance. The Jubilee bracelet, introduced on the Batman in 2019, has been met with great acclaim.
